i want to yield to a colleague of mine from new mexico who represents the albuquerque area sandia, new mexico. and the gentlelady has the lab and yield to her and tell us what this shutdown has had on our national laboratories. ms. lujan grisham: i draw attention to the hard work that men and women who work at our national labs and help grow our economy. sandia national labs is home to 9,000 dedicated public servants. these are the brightest engineers, scientists and technicians and have chosen to serve our country instead of take ing jobs in the private sector because they are passionate. sandia is a national security asset that finds solutions to the most challenging problems that threaten our nation. their work supports numerous agencies, companies and organizations. during the bp oil spill, the employees were called in to cap the well. the work they do is remarkable. 101 1996, it has received research and development awards, oven referred to as the oscars of invention where the nobel prizes of technology. while the national labs have been used carryover funds over the past 11 days,

in your state, new mexico, you're already 700 doctors short in a report last week. when you expand the medicaid provision, which i think your state is going to do, you add i think 175,000 more people who are going to try to go to the doctor's office when there are already 700 doctors -- isn't it part of the problem that we have narrowly focused on one piece of a really complicated health system? and there are a lot of other peoples that have to be fixed? >> i don't defend my current governor, but she accepted medica medicaid. many other republican governors in the west have done that. in fact around the country. look, i think what this is important that's happening is, one, with obama care, more people will be insured, especially those who can't afford it. sectly costs will go in. third, you have options. again, i think the president -- we get this problem with the glitch fixed, and you will see that individuals will have more choices, that they will have an opportunity to get a plan that costs less, that has more -- that's what -- >> if you were in charge, wouldn't
